Hi Maarten,
Despite the lack of time, a nice tight progress. A nice picture, with the view to the hold.
Regards, Peter

Hi Maarten 6 weeks away and so much new to discover, neat work as I'm used to from you.
Finally the deck constructiin is finished. Next will be the hanging knees.
I appreciate the precision of your work here Maarten. Would have been easy to be sloppy with all those little strips but you have managed to keep everything lined up perfectly creating a very esthetic result. I may just have a POF ship in my future...looks like fun.
That's precisely the dilemma. I have the Blandford as well as the Kingfisher - but now that I have been following Uwe's work on the Granado... If you have some thoughts on this perhaps you could guide me???Thx gents
Paul thought you already ordered the Granado?

I love the Kingfisher, that is a unique model in boxwood certainly look forward to that build.
But if you want guidence on your first POF then you can better get experience on the blandfort or grenado as others build it simultaniously.

I agree with you on the Kingfisher Maarten. If I were into anything other than the WB and I had the Kingfisher in my possession, I wouldn't even consider the other options and with @dockattner Paul's talent, I am sure he will be more than up to the build.
Very accurate work - Very good result my friend
and to Paul alias @dockattner - try POF and I think you will make in future only POF

The last syep on the deck construction are the hanging knees.
Before installation I add bolts to the knees.
Then glued in place with PVA, fot me easily accesible as I cut my hull in half.
The PS side is now almost finished.

Hello Maarten, it is once again a feast for the eyes.
Very nice and accurate build with all those joints, Maarten. And indeed, adding the knees is easy on a ‘cutted’ hull.

Thx gents.
@Peter Voogt haha you experienced it yourselve on your bluenose, do you take that with you in September to Duizel? I join with 4 models hopefully then my Alert is finished.

good morning Maarten, I ask: it is Your choice to place the "baglietti and barrocci" in this way. Thank you
Hi Frank,
Think you missed that you are looking at the bottom of the deck. I cut my ship horizontally in half.
See below how the deck looks from the top.

I mean what I see is the bottom? Thanks for answering me
I like it again and again, the bubbles rising at the anchor.
